Item 6 Public questions

Roy, Bellerby, Speeding

Why is there so little attention paid to the blight of speeding in our villages? Do people have to die before you act. We have been asking for a 20 mph limit in Bellerby for years but last week 20 mph signs were erected on all the side roads where speeding is not a concern but the main road (A6108) was left to the racers.

Heather, Grassington, Police presence

Why has the local community officer for Grassington been taken away?

Why is Skipton not a full-time station, meaning police have to come from Harrogate?

I feel vulnerable and ignored, how have rates of rural crime changed?
